Completely agree with others – the leadership will absolutely influence what the culture is within the company and the behaviors that reside within the organization. While you can set policies, create values, etc, unless the leaders are role modeling the desired behaviors and upholding the values of the organization, there will be culture erosion and a feeling of a lack of authenticity in what we say we are vs. how we really are in reality. The executive team has to be healthy and in sync otherwise the toxicity from the executive team will begin to cascade into the depths of the organization.
